Tillandsia butzii

Tillandsia butzii

Family: Bromeliaceae
Common name: Tillandsia Butzii
Origin: Central America (mainly Mexico and Costa Rica)

Description:
The Tillandsia butzii is a small to medium-sized air plant with green, gracefully curved leaves that form a compact rosette. Its leaves often appear slightly silvery due to fine trichomes that help it absorb moisture from the air. When in bloom, it produces tubular flowers in vivid colors that contrast beautifully with the foliage, adding a unique decorative touch.

Care:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh direct sunlight that may scorch the leaves.
• Watering: As an epiphyte, it doesn’t need soil. Mist the leaves several times a week, more often in dry environments.
• Temperature: Thrives in mild conditions, avoiding frost or sudden temperature changes.
• Substrate: No soil required; can be placed on wood, rocks, or in open terrariums and paludariums.
• Humidity: Enjoys medium to high humidity but tolerates lower levels with regular misting.

Uses:
Perfect for interior decoration, open terrariums, or air plant displays. Its compact form and colorful bloom make it a natural and exotic accent for any space.

Curiosity:
Like other air plants, Tillandsia butzii grows without soil and adapts easily to various settings, making it a versatile and eye-catching plant.
